Hey guys
I’m going to get a cover for my Tecamp cabinet, but this is a more general question about import duties etc. If I order from a German store, do I pay German tax? The store are saying that I do. Will the product get charged any duties on its way into the UK? The cover is already £90 with delivery….ouch! I don’t want to be paying anymore. My problem is also that if I’m spending £90, I’ll probably be annoyed if it gets badly scuffed and scraped. If it’s horrendously expensive to import, I might go with a Roqsolid cover for £40 plus free delivery. They seem to be waterproof and padded with a soft lining which seems quite good for the price. Plus, the cabinet will be looked after anyway. Has anyone had any experience with the Roqsolid covers? |

Unless you are vat registered in the uk you will pay the vat in Germany. But there will be no duty or vat when it comes into the uk as it partof the eu so in the single market.

I've got 3 Roqsolid covers and they are superb. Their guarentees are excellent and no Postage and Packing. Just be aware that the prices published are exclusive of VAT, but it is still around half the price. So you are keeping it then

Is it that much cheaper than going direct to Roqsolid?

 Roqsolid covers are very good quality and you can choose main colour and edging colour.I had two covers made for a Ampeg rig.They were top quality and very durable Made to Measure.I would definately recommend them a great service. |

+1 for Roqsolid. They are very good quality for the money - I had some made for my Trace Elliot cabs, complete with green piping - and they are great.

I have a Roqsolid on my Ampeg too, very nice. Choice of colours as well, which is also nice. Ive only had one rip in the outer fabric nad thats because I rammed it into a sharp piece of wood (duh)

Roqsolid didn't do a cover for my Trace V-type combo so I emailed the measurements, they made one up for me, it fits perfectly and now anyone with a 1x15" V-type combo can order one for themselves. I too got a black one with green piping

+1 for Roqsolid. They tailored one up for my Ashdown Classic head some time back and it's great. Give em a shot.

Roqsolid are actually made in Batley and when I got mine there were always deals to be had: I paid a extra £1 and got a 10% discount on £45! Mine were the first MarkBass Travellers he'd made so I sent in the dimensions and they were made from those plans.

Update:
Went with Roqsolid...the German company wanted full retail price and with delivery it was nearing £90 for a cover....which is too much considering the cab was such a good buy. Anyway, Roqsolid have put up a 7.5% discount for Xmas over the past few days....so all in all cost me £43 delivered. Black with black binding so it stays looking decent hopefully. |

I definitely recommend Roqsolid. Used them for two cabs and they were great. Sent the wrong one through first time but replaced it with no hassle.

Just got my cover....perfect fit, nice and padded inside, superb quality and great waterproof outer.
Very impressed....cannot go wrong at that price. It basically looks better than some of the more expensive covers....very well cut and put together. This post has been edited by Musicman20: Nov 24 2009, 10:58 PM |
